Figure Skating SPOILERS: Ladies Short G1

TUR KARADEMIR Tugba
black velvet bodice with one shoulder and no back and a silvery chiffon skirt. very elegant and pretty
violin music
FW slowly not such great stroking. 3T-2T in liberty position. 3S nice/ flying camel. NICE beillman variant!. i like how she moves. side spital to back hold it longer girl ch edge spiral nice not a wobble nice beillman spiral. nice side spiral. nice 2A. sideways to layback in Kwan position. circle FW fast and comples slowing. not a big circle but very nioce and with the music. camel inside, beill variant sit ch jackknife pancake upright

The biellman variant is a kind of twisted half-beillman, looks very different than others Beillmans. I like it. I can see why Naomi likes this skater so much. There is much to like. He jump landings are a bit cheated and she does not have the difficulty that many of the top skaters have, but she moves very smoothly and interprets the music well. There's a lot to like.
25.70 + 18.50 = 44.20

USA MEISSNER Kimmie
black strapless with slim chiffon skirt and silver seuining
heroic music. child is FAST. 3Z-3T! steps to3F NICE. she's still a jock nice layback touch foot to head, to sideways lean nice. she really gets down into her crossovers, covers a lot of ice. spiral ch e nice position steady. half beill, waves arms. nice 2A. camel sit layback ch sit inside catch excellent speed through. SL fWdeathe drop nice inside crossfoot sit.

She is very happy and should be. She still skates very jockishly, but you can't help liking her. That 3T was a bit cheated on the landing and may be downgraded.
34.20 + 25.20 = 59.40

FIN POYKIO Susanna

heroic music
3Z-2T nice. jazzy music/ arm waving steps to 3F wonky lancing slying came; inside halt beill. slinky music. nice 2A. arm waving. ugly spiral to nice side spiral nice f spiral ch edge steady back beill spiral ugly sideway lean to layback to beill. back to jazzy music SL FW slow carefully done. not selling it. camel sit cannon layback foot to head ch sit inside catchfoot.

Jazzy music for a skater who cannot sell it really doesn't work all that well.
